materials subject to soil or tarnish the ties.

A further object of theinvention is to provide a device of the character-indicated of improved structural form adapted to securely hold the ties, but without undue pressure thereon such as would be calculated to mar the same. v I

Further objects will more particularly appear in the course of the following detailed description. V

The invention consists in the improved construction, arrangement and combination of materials hereinafter more particularly specified and claimed. I

One sheet of drawings accompanies this specification as part thereof in which like reference characters indicate like parts throughout. I 1

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved tie holder;

Figure 2 is a front elevation;

Figure 3 is a detail perspective of one of the resilient spring loop members; and

Figure 4 is a fragmentary cross section taken on line 44 of Figure 2. 1 In accordance with the present invention,

all of the parts of the device which can pos- .sibly come in contact with the ties are made main panel and the resilient securing members. This material is a synthetic nitro-cellulose derivative readily available on the market and capable of receiving very attractive finishes, and is similar to celluloid and other like synthetic solids. One characteristic of this material is that in relatively thin sheet form it will warp, and accordingly when used in a device of this character in connection with the panel, it is preferred to assoof pyralin, including both the surface of the ciate thin sheets of pyralin 2 with an intermediate sheet of pressed wood or fiber 1. j

Suitable holes 3 are provided adjacent each end of the panel by means of which it can be secured or hung. -The"tie-holding part of the device comprises a plurality of loop members 4:, each formed from a strap of V pyralin, celluloid or the like, the sides of the loop members being secured together throughout the greater part of the length of 0 each loop by cement, as indicated at 6. The

ends of the strap of each loop are brought together, preferably centrally of the loop as at 7. By reason of this arrangement, openings 5 are left at each end of the loop members, which openings are retained in their open position by reason of the natural resiliency of the material. 7 V

A plurality of these loop members of varying lengths are assembled in superposed relation and cemented together centrally, preferably with the joints 7 outwardly, and the group of loopmembers are then secured to the panel 1 bycement applied centrally to the longest loop member. Finish may be added, and the assembled loops more firmly secured by means of a channel shaped clip 8, positsoned'centrally over the assembled loop memers.

By reason of the structure'of the loop members previously described, it will be noted that in assembled relationship open spaces 9 are formed between adjacent loop members by reason of the thinness of these members occasioned by the openings 5 adj acent each end of each loop member. This feature is clearly illustrated in Figure '1.

In using, the tie 10 is inserted by forcing same between two of 'thecontacting ends of adjacent loop members and passed into the opening 9 between those members, in which position it will be securely held,-but without any pressure being exerted thereon by the resilient loop members. 7

As previously pointed out, no part of the tie can contact any part of the device, except parts constructed of pyralin, or other similar synthetic material not adapted to tarnish or corrode by normal exposure to atmospheric conditions.

Having thus fully described my invention I claim:

1. A holder forties and the like comprising a base and holding element, the latter consisting of superposed loops of resilient straps, said loops each having opposite sides secured together the major part of their length leaving openings at each end, said loops secured together centrally in superposed relation to form openings between said adjacent loops on either side of saidcenter. V

2. A holder for ties and the like comprising a composite base of wood with an outer veneer of a nitro-cellulose derivative and a holding element consisting of superposed loops of dill'erent lengths formed of resilient straps of a nitrocellulose derivative, said loops each having opposite sides secured together the major part of their length leaving openings at each end, said loops secured together centrally in superposed relation the longest loop adjacent the base and the other loops successively in order according to length.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

LAXVRENCE EBERT GOELLER.
